Last week, Viswanath, along with other researchers from Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, received a five-year $2.78 million grant from the National Institute of Health and the National Cancer Institute. This grant would allow them to continue their work on an AI model for treating rectal cancer. 46,000 people are
The model would mine information from MRIs and CT scans and provide patients and doctors with detailed information on their tumors. They would be able to use the model to see what the tumor looks like, the likelihood of it growing or shrinking in the future, and the next steps for treatment.
